Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 589

When it was getting dark, Yun Shang handed the map to Qian Liu. "I marked these places on the map. Send someone to check them. Be careful. These places are easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the eldest princess wants to hide the army in a hidden place, these are good choices. Do not alert the enemy."

Qian Liu said yes, curtsied and left. There was no news in the palace. Luo Qingyan spread a message that he might not return home tonight. Yun Shang didn't care much about it. She asked the messenger about the situation in the palace in detail.

"The empress ordered us to guard against the leak of the news and only tell the other concubines that his majesty is ill, and the imperial physician said that his majesty should have a good rest quietly. The other concubines are forbidden to disturb his majesty. Few people know what happened in the Yunqi Palace, because lady Yun seldom visited other ladies." The attendant answered Yun Shang's question in a low voice.

"How about those people from the court? Are they in the palace now?" Yun Shang asked peacefully, staring at the armrest of the chair.

The attendant answered quickly, "His Highness, the seventh prince, Field Marshal Su, Master of the court Liu, Lord Hua Guo, Mister Liu, they are in the palace right now. Other officials are not in the palace."

"Have you heard what they talked about today?" Yun Shang's hand paused when hearing his response. She thought that Liu Yinfeng had a special position in the state of Xia. In fact, he was neither a royal member nor an official of the court, but he could freely go to the court without permission, and Xia Huanyu didn't hide such an important thing from him. It was really a special favor that Liu Yinfeng gained the trust of Xia Huanyu. It was true that Liu Yinfeng was indeed a little talented, but why was he so special when there were so many talented men in the world?

A thought flashed across Yun Shang's mind. She looked away and at the attendant in front of her.

The attendant rubbed his hands nervously and said, "I don't know. The door has been closed since his highness and other officials entered the meeting hall. I don't know what they have said in the hall." After a pause, he continued hesitantly, "but..."

"But what?" Yun Shang asked in a hurry.

The attendant hastily replied, "but when his highness opened the door and ordered me to send the message back, I seemed to see that everyone in the hall was standing, except for Master of the court Liu, Liu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground. I don't know why."

"Liu Jin?" Yun Shang was silent for a moment. She didn't understand why Liu Jin was kneeling down on the ground. The higher he climbed, the more powerful he would become. Only his majesty and the empress could make him kneel. Since Xia Huanyu was not in the palace, it must be the empress who asked him to do so. What had he done?

Yun Shang waved the servant out. Since Luo Qingyan didn't come back, Yun Shang ordered the servants to prepare some dinner simply. After dinner, she headed straight to the study again.
